“No matter what, you have to respect opponents, umpires and match officials. That’s the way you play cricket. Some situations require a certain kind of treatment. That situation had to be dealt with in that fashion, I think it was the right call,” Rahane waas quoted as saying by Sportstar after the match.

Jaiswal eventually returned to the field after spending some time off it.

”Whatever Ajju bhai says I take that seriously and try to follow it,” Yashasvi Jaiswal said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
